Current through Reg. 50, No. 253; December 31, 2024
Section 40D-8.624 - Guidance and Minimum Levels for Lakes
(1) Levels for lakes adopted during or after August 7, 2000, are set forth in Table 8-2 in subsection 40D-8.624(7), F.A.C. There are two Minimum Levels for these lakes, the High Minimum Lake Level and the Minimum Lake Level. For lakes with levels adopted during or after August 7, 2000, a reference in the District's rules to the applicable minimum level or to established minimum water levels shall refer to the adopted High Minimum Lake Level and Minimum Lake Level described in this Rule 40D-8.624, F.A.C.
(2) Levels for lakes adopted prior to August 7, 2000, are set forth in Table 8-3 in subsection 40D-8.624(8), F.A.C. There are two Guidance Levels for these lakes, the High Level and the Low Level.

For lakes with levels adopted before August 7, 2000, a reference within the District's rules to the applicable minimum level or to established minimum water levels shall refer to the Low Level described in this Rule 40D-8.624, F.A.C. Such a Low Level shall not be deemed a minimum level pursuant to Section 373.042, F.S.

(3) The High Minimum Lake Level (HMLL) is the elevation that a lake's water levels are required to equal or exceed ten percent of the time on a Long-term basis. The High Minimum Lake Level is established to ensure that a lake reaches higher levels on a periodic basis.
(4) The Minimum Lake Level (MLL) is the elevation that the lake's water levels are required to equal or exceed fifty percent of the time on a Long-term basis.
(5) Status assessments of the Minimum Levels for lakes for which Minimum Levels have been adopted will be completed annually to determine whether the respective lake's level is below or projected to fall below the Minimum Levels. Each status assessment is independent from and not a determination of water use permit compliance or environmental resource permit compliance. Permit compliance is a regulatory function that is not within the scope of this subsection. As part of each status assessment, the District will use the following approach:
(a) The District will evaluate the Minimum Levels to determine the extent to which the water levels have been reduced due to withdrawals as of the date of each status assessment. The annual evaluation will be completed through a review of:
1. Surface Water Levels;
2. Water withdrawals;
3. Aquifer water levels;
4. Rainfall; and
5. Hydrologic modeling.
(b) The District will also evaluate the Minimum Levels every five years as part of the regional water supply planning process. This evaluation will include the use of hydrologic modeling.
(c) If the Minimum Levels are being met based on the annual evaluation or the evaluation performed as a part of the regional water supply planning process, then no further actions are required beyond continued monitoring.
(6) Levels for lakes established during or after August 7, 2000, are set forth in the following table. Guidance Levels for lakes established prior to August 7, 2000, are set forth in Table 8-3 in subsection 40D-8.624(7), F.A.C., below.

Table 8-2 Minimum Levels Established During or After August 7, 2000.

Levels are elevations, in feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.
